The Venezuelan Institute of Cultural Heritage has taken up the Pemon cause.
Backing their claims of illegality it has successfully asked the country’s
foreign ministry to formally petition the German government to return it.
But Mr Von Schwarzenfeld contests the Venezuelan claims. He says the Pemon
approved the rock’s removal and that he has all the necessary paperwork to
prove that he had official permission to take it back to Germany.
The artist has the support of Bruno Illias, one of the few Pemon experts in
the world. He said that “hardly any” Pemon knew the full story of
the stone’s origins, and in fact many found the legend “quite
embarrassing”.
